Chapter 207 – A repeated rumor becomes a fact (2)

It was true that Nie Sangyu's belly was very big . He had even poked fun at her by asking her, could it be possible that you're going to give birth to a litter of piglets? After going to Qiangwei Courtyard and Jiyue Courtyard and hearing the same gossip, Ning Yuxuan thought they were just overthinking things . How could it be possible that Ning Mingjie would dare to do something like that? Besides, Nie Sangyu had always deeply loved him…

Deeply loved him? Ning Yuxuan stopped walking and looked at the lonely moon .

He had whittled Nie Sangyu's feelings for him away into nothing a long time ago . The current Nie Sangyu knew how to fawn over him and how to act cutely spoiled, but she no longer stared at him with a pair of adoring eyes .

His hand slightly clenched, and Ning Yuxuan laughed at himself . When did he start caring about a woman's feelings?

He continued walking forward a few steps and met Danzhu on the path .

Holding a lantern, she elegantly saluted him . “Greetings, marquis . ”

He thought it over and decided that Xuesong Courytard was the only place that would let him feel more peaceful and calm . Qian Lianxue wasn't a gossipy person . Ning Yuxuan nodded at Danzhu and signaled for her to lead the way .

It was true that Qian Lianxue wasn't a gossipy person . However, she happened to be reading a book about women's health, and it was opened to an ill.u.s.tration of women in various stages of pregnancy by month . His heart felt more stifled as soon as he walked over and saw the ill.u.s.tration .

Nie Sangyu's stomach looked exactly like the drawing of the woman that was nine month pregnant .

Nine months ago, he hadn't favored her at all .

Qian Lianxue quietly coughed, then said in a soft voice, “My lord, don't take this book too seriously . This servant was just feeling bored and started reading this book . It might not be 100% accurate . ”

He had already seen that page . How could he not take it seriously? Feeling irritated, Ning Yuxuan plucked the book from her hands and threw it out the window .

The next day, when Ji Man brought over tea to the study to express her sympathy for the hardworking marquis, she noticed that he looked at her with a very unfriendly gaze .

So weird . She hadn't done anything to offend him . Why was he looking at her like that? Ji Man couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, “Has this servant done something wrong?”

Marquis Moyu shook his head and turned his eyes towards the book in his hand . He indifferently said, “Just put down the tea . You can leave . ”

Since he wasn't willing to tell her, Ji Man didn't pursue him for an answer .

Once she left the study, she asked Gancao, “Where did the marquis go yesterday?”
